Short hairstyles can be very flattering for people with slender, oval face shapes as well as in order to create the illusion of a longer neck on someone who has a shorter neck. People that have a full face to begin with typically aren’t recommended for shorter styles as they can draw attention to less flattering features. There are several techniques that can be used to create short styles. Having your stylist add some razored layers can add some texture and point cutting can create some fun choppy pieces. The possibilities are endless when designing a new short hairdo.
While the blow-dry and go look is quick, unless your hair has a smooth texture to begin with, this can be a difficult style to make look suitable for public. It’s nearly impossible to quickly touch up a short style after waking up without avoiding major pillow hair. Typically short styles will require a flat iron at minimum to straighten, smooth down, add some gentle curls or even just to give your style some volume. Short hairstyles can also require more time because they will need to be trimmed more often than longer styles and will have to be shampooed more often than longer styles.
Other products that are must-haves when styling shorter hair are pastes, pomades, hair gel, and hairspray. Hair pastes and pomades are perfect for defining short layers and adding texture to a simple style. Though short hairstyles can mean more maintenance they are undoubtedly cute styles, worth the time and energy!
Short Hairstyle Tips
For those with round faces, a short hairstyle can slim the look of your face by choosing a style with added length under the chin, keeping hair closer to the face, and curls around the crown to create height.
Others may want to keep the hair around your face above chin level to draw the eyes upward and away from the chin. You might want to consider a short bob haircut. You can also add highlights that are woven around the face to create a halo effect.
We suggest searching for a short length hairstyle that you like, then find style tips for your particular length that will aid in giving the final end result you are looking for!
